It grossed $203 million worldwide and received praise for Adams's performance, Villeneuve's direction, and its exploration of communicating with extraterrestrial intelligence.

"Who is this child?" That's when it all clicked into place and I about lost it. Wow, what a movie.

[The_Darius_King]

I loved that this scene wasn't rushed. You definitely feel the gravity of it when she finally lands in their environment.

[greghohenberger]

The best part is that meant the creature that died abbot...always knew he was going to die always knew that when he went here he wouldn't be trusted and he would be murdered and he still went

[humanform]

This particular scene makes me think that their environment is some kind of super fluid.

[travistovar]

The music they played when she asked who the child was was terrifying but also beautiful..realizing she's looking at her daughter perfect score man

[Ama-hikn]

Poor Abbott 😢 The result of fear and not understanding the unknown. But in the end we are are subject to our instincts as we are still related to animals, but we're working on it.

[HonestHans]

The way that she catches the ink in her hands after Costello tells her that Abbott is dying…it shows how much she’s empathizing with him and feels his pain as someone who’s become so deeply acquainted with them and their language. This is my favorite scene from one of my favorite movies, and I only just discovered it about a month ago.

I find it interesting that her being exposed to the alien atmosphere also causes her hair to fall out of the bun.

[JakesNotDrinking]

I love the detail that you’re staring at their “feet” the whole movie lol

[TheCoolProfessor]

This wasn't the best alien movie I've ever seen but the creatures and their style of communication were astonishing!

[MichaelAngztek]

If you know what is to come from your decisions and it caused you pain would you still make the same decisions to raise your child?
The same premise as in Star Trek Discovery, Captain Pike witnesses in Star Trek Discovery when he comes in contact with the Time Crystal. In the end he still sacrifices himself because of his sense of duty and honor.
He becomes confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life as a result of sacrificing himself to save trainees from a accident in a Starfleet vessel.

I watched this movie for the first time this past weekend and it’s been living rent-free in my head ever since. Such a cool movie with awe-inspiring concepts.

There is no way Denis can ever top this, just a fucking masterpiece. Like Abbott knowing the outcome, so does she with her marriage and daughter, but no need for regretting because time cannot be changed. Life process and you would not even trade sad moments, just brilliant.

[yema]

When you look at the symbols of their names and compare it to where is Abbot symbol, it's like it's trying to show the time cycle, in that their names are yin and yang, like on and off. And seeing that allows her to see time as cyclical or something idk.

[gentrykoda]

6:23 - 6:43 that her future self feeling worried (or the same thing her current self is feeling??

I'm not quite understanding that part. 🤔

[mckennaMrsHasselhoff]

Arrival - ( 2016 ) I Mckenna sees future

[Tomathias]

What was the point of the glass and gravity shenanigans when it's shown that humans can survive in the same atmosphere without any consequence? From a writing standpoint, it just seems pointless or a cheap way to save this scene for shock value later

[Soothurn]

The girl is her daughter in her future. They are showing her this about her to her. I think they are there because they are helping her because she helped them in her future so they are returning the favor. Its why they were there.

[energize]

Who is this child?
I love this movie so much
